BACKGROUND
Maple functions from the linalg package
Here is a list of the Maple functions we will be using from this package.
Note that these functions form only a small subset of the package, which
is designed primarily for linear algebra. Examples for some of the
commands are given below, more examples can be found in the help screens
for each command.
- vector
- Used to define a vector or vector-valued function.
- add
- Adds two vectors or vector-valued functions together.
- scalarmul
- Multiplies a vector or a vector-valued function by a scalar.
- dotprod
- Computes the dot product of two vectors or vector-valued functions.
- crossprod
- Computes the cross product of two vectorsor vector-valued functions.
- evalm
- Evaluates expressions involving vectors or vector-valued functions.
We have already used these commands with vectors. The first set of
examples below illustrates how to define vector-valued
functions and how to use the commands from the linalg package.
